COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 20, 2002 - The CDMA Development Group (CDG)
(www.cdg.org) and eight wireless vendors signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) for the delivery of CDMA2000 infrastructure and terminal equipment to
be used for 2.1 GHz spectrum. Under the MoU, Ericsson, LG Electronics, Lucent
Technologies, Motorola, Nortel Networks, Qualcomm, Samsung and ZTE have committed
to provide wireless operators with CDMA2000 infrastructure, terminal equipment,
or related technology to offer commercial service at 2.1 GHz frequency.

"Today's announcement is indicative of the collaboration between the CDG
and its member manufacturer companies working to ensure that 3G CDMA2000 equipment
is available to operators regardless of spectrum," said Perry LaForge,
executive director, CDG. "CDMA2000 has proven itself in the 3G market place
with more than 13 million global subscribers. The public commitment from CDMA
wireless vendors underscores the industry's confidence that CDMA2000 has a strong
position in the 3G market."

"KDDI's decision to use CDMA2000 at 2.1 GHz complements our commercial
CDMA2000 system at 800 Mhz and lets us expand our service offering. The flexibility
of CDMA2000 enables us to offer advanced data services as well as rapid rollout
regardless of the spectrum band," said Toshio Okihashi, senior executive
managing officer of KDDI Corp. "This commitment by leading manufacturers
to develop CDMA2000 infrastructure and terminal equipment for 2.1 GHz frequency
assures operators that there will be a range of solutions to choose from at
2.1 GHz."

Under the terms of the MoU, 2.1 GHz equipment will be available for customer
trial and testing purposes as early as September 2002 and commercially available
as early as February 2003. The initial trial equipment will be developed to
potentially support the 3G trial efforts of China's Ministry of Information
Industries (MII).

As part of the CDG's on-going 3G initiative the Group will continue to facilitate
interactions between CDMA operators and vendors to promote and support the deployment
of CDMA-based 3G systems worldwide.
